You look amazing! It's difficult to say what each of us should weigh. When I started this journey, I wanted to reach 160. That's about normal for someone who is 5' 7". I now know that will never happen! In fact, it will be a miracle for me to be 199 or less. I know that I'm okay with where I am now at 207ish. I do think I need to get below 200. I'll keep working on achieving that goal. I try not to focus too much on the numbers each day and instead think about how I feel. Do I feel healthy? Can I tell a difference in how I feel when I exercise? Did I eat too much so that I feel too full? That's how I measure. You've done a great job! Hugs, Stephanie

Clearly, you do not think you are where you want to end up, so push on. We all carry our weight differently. I think the hard part is to loose weight in a specific area of our body. I know we can firm some things up, but I don't know about "body sculpting". Good luck with your continued success. Rick

Hi, I think you look GREAT. Isn't it secretly nice nought to be the biggest person in the room? My thought are not to worry so much about the number. If you are health and happy and what ever number the scale might say you have won the race. Thanks for sharing your success with us. Life is great, Rick

Okay, guys I'm at 179 and now when I look at pics I can see what everyone has been telling me, but I still don't honestly feel that 179 is low enough for 5'2" tall. I think I would feel more comfortable around 150-160. Whats your take on it. The surgeons goal was 135 and my original goal was for me was 115. I realize now that is either not attainable or just too low.

Congrats...that is quite the accomplishment.....I am very proud of you..... Jannine
